Choosing the proper location

Read the following items before choosing the location for the freezer. See “Completing the installation” below before sliding freezer into place.

1.Pick a safe place, indoors, away from flam- mables such as gasoline.

2.Check the strength of the floor. It should hold the weight of a fully loaded freezer.

3.Allow at least 3 inches (7.5 cm) of air space at top of freezer.

4.Allow at least 3 inches (7.5 cm) on each side of the freezer for ease of installation.

5.lf the freezer is to be against a wall, you might want to leave extra space on the hinge side so the door can be opened wider.

Completing the installation

Level freezer so the door will stay open at any position.

1.Locate, remove and discard the 4 bofts that held the freezer in the shipping crate.

2.Locate the 2 front leveling legs taped among the packing materials.

3.Screw these legs into the front holes on the bottom of the freezer. The back of the freezer rests on 2 fixed supports.

4.Adjust the 2 front legs so freezer does not rock.

5.Connect freezer to proper electrical supply and attach retaining clip. (Refer to “Locating the proper electrical supply” on page 5.)

6.Slide freezer into place.

7.Place a level on top of the freezer-first side to side then front to back. Turn leg clockwise to raise a corner. Turn leg counterclockwise to lower a comer.

6.Repeat step 7 until the freezer is level.

9.After freezer is fully loaded, recheck with level.
